You Know What, Julian?

UPDATE: Mitch Potter of the Toronto Star has a very even-handed analysis of the probable impact of WikiLeaks pending big blunder:

"Sources in Washington speculated that in the event that Afghanistan figures prominently in the Wikileaks dump, any undiplomatic mention of Canada is likely to pale against disclosures of U.S. views on various European NATO allies who have abstained from combat. But U.S. displeasure at the uneven workload in Afghanistan is hardly new; a rash of U.S. officials have said as much on the record, year after year."

I really doubt there will be anything that will seriously damage US-Canada relations, especially considering the reinvention of NATO that was just agreed upon. Or, for that matter, any of America's allies.

CBC will salivate, of course, as will all their lunatic leftie fans, but there is too much at stake right now to allow the words expressing private frustration to derail any of America's allies right now. There may be some hard truths to swallow, but so what. Adults inhabit the diplomatic corp. Those adults know what is at stake and do not play childish games. Not so with CBC and its rabid frothing at the mouth fans, nor with poor Julian.

In fact, I can't wait to see how CBC handles the latest batch. The leak known as ClimateGate was an "illegal hacking into private emails" that revealed the true nature of one of CBCs pet causes, but when it aids the Corpse's anti-American agenda, they'll be all over it as manna from heaven.  Just one more reason to kill that beast.

But what of our poor narcissist, Julian. Once it occurs to him that the adults have better sense than he does, his low self-esteem will dip even lower. Someone needs to get that boy a good shrink. He'll need one when the international arrest warrants start to multiply. In fact, I'm salivating at the prospect.

And I'm in awe at how the US is handling this.

Diplomats fear WikiLeaks will expose U.S. brickbats aimed at Canada

"The potential that secrets ranging from war tactics to intelligence-sharing could be revealed sparked concerns Thursday from Defence Minister Peter MacKay and U.S. Ambassador David Jacobson, who said it was an irresponsible attempt to “wreak havoc” and “destabilize global security” that will put lives at risk."

"In Ottawa, there is speculation that the documents could reveal private accounts of U.S. pressure on Canada to extend its military mission in Afghanistan, or criticisms that Canadian intelligence agencies, hamstrung by legal concerns, aren’t reliable intelligence-sharing partners because they might reveal U.S. sources and feel unable to share wanted information.

Around the world, unconfirmed reports suggest that the documents will include U.S. diplomats’ accounts of the corruption of foreign leaders, or covert U.S. support for Kurdish separatists in Iraq and Turkey.

Canadian government figures insist they have not seen the documents WikiLeaks will disclose, but Mr. MacKay said he will be concerned if they reveal elements of military operations.

“What I can tell you is if there’s anything in there that endangers soldiers or speaks of operational detail, then I am worried,” he said."

Many Canadians will agree with him.

And very likely Australians will, too.
